| Misc | 2 | One for the tutorial, one for New Game Plus |
Hardest achievements
The hardest achievement is Issen Master: perform 100 Issen counters in a single playthrough. This requires consistent parry timing across the entire game. The second hardest is No Mercy: defeat all bosses without taking damage (on any difficulty). This is only feasible on Easy or Normal, and even then, it demands near-perfect execution against the Genma Sovereign fight.
- Issen Master: 100 Issen counters in one playthrough (Hard difficulty recommended).
- No Mercy: all bosses hitless (Easy mode is acceptable for this).
- Completionist: all memory fragments and soul caches found.
- Hard+ Warrior: clear the game on Hard+ (unlocked after first Hard clear).
The Platinum trophy / 100% completion requires roughly 40-50 hours. Difficulty achievements stack, so clearing Hard+ also unlocks Normal and Easy achievements.
FAQ
- Can I get all achievements in one playthrough?
- No. Difficulty achievements require separate playthroughs on each difficulty. Hard+ is a separate unlock from Hard and requires clearing the game on Hard first.
- Does the Steam version have its own achievement set?
- Yes, but the achievement list is identical across all platforms. The game has 42 achievements on every platform.
